Thomas Smith from NME said "If you've caught a Parcels live show in the last few years you'll know that few do it better. There's slick grooves, stunning harmonies and swishing hair – it’s one of those rare shows allergic to duds and dull moments. Live Vol.1 captures that energy, but is just much a wonder for the technical heads. The album provides an opportunity for fans to dive into the intricate playing that make the shows the wonder that they are, while the banging interludes and reworked live versions to keep things moving."[3]
Shannon McDonagh from Clash said Parcels Live Vol.1 is a richly coordinated display of musical chemistry, but that is where the charm ends" adding "there is little to set it apart from the original selection of tracks put out via Kitsuné in 2018."[2]
